it's also no doubt a little bit of a reflection of familiarity. the united states is a two-party system.
it's the old kodos line.
"go ahead, waste your vote."
the only way that most people can really conceive of a role for sanders at all is in the democratic party. so, of course they throw out ideas like a vp run.
remember: clinton's view is they ran the race and she beat him and he therefore loses and his ideas should go away.
i've been clear that i don't think that a meaningful collaboration is possible. it's like telling skywalker and vader to put aside their differences and get along. the fact that people can't see, or won't see, or can't process, the difference is kind of disappointing.
there's still a long time before the convention.

"bernie. i am your master."
"join the dark side, bernie."
noooooo!!!!!
don't do, it bernie! don't join the dark side!
that's right. don't join the dark side. heed your own advice, sir.
listen.
bernie's been shuffled home. the stage is set for episode VI. but, that means that this shit ain't over until i see some happy ewoks dancing in the forest. which means we have until burning man to set this right.
no, really.
there's an important part in return of the jedi where luke tries to convince vader to turn away from the dark side. that's what's up next. but, it will fail. and, we will have to blow up the party.
somebody call chomsky, make sure he's ok.
